why Girls Go Wrong.

That girls like bad boys best, and that
they VIII forsake father and mother, dis
regard the advice Of their truest friends
and bring desolation To the hearts Of all
rather thar renounce q diss0lu.a fellow,
are facts too patent to require proof What
~ the cause Of this IN well-to-d0 FAM
lies the girls are spared every effort and
deprived OF every opportunity TO exercise
their will power, and consequently grow
up wholly UMPIRE, Jared 70 exercise judg-
Inent, decision and action. The senti-
mental, poetic, delirious period arrives.
The emotional nature, under the stimulus
Of awakening faculties, now becomes su-
preme, and the girl is wholly under its
control. There should be no difference in
4 girP5 and d boys life until they are ten
years Of age. She ought to be the equal Of
her brother in out-of-door sports Until
they are fifteen years of age they ought to
have the same training in school. As
much ought 10 be expected from her "a
from him. After that time their education
should differ, according 10 their different
spheres OF action. ! true affection is an
anchor to character, and If girls life
we're securely anchored at home she
would not bc 50 easily driven out to SEA.
The fathe-, rather than the mother. IS Or
can be E4yorite with the daughter. IF a
father wishes TO fortify his daughter
against folly let him retain her love and
confidence. Not simply respect and e.
TEEN, but love. And to do this he must
feed the love Of the child until that love
rlpens into the genuine affection Of wo-
man. Many fathers deceive themselves.
They think their daughters do love them.
They think this when they cannot re-

just for the husband, in his own personal
interest, TO furnish au that she and her
children may need yet, according to an
o'her custom frequently followed, the
| suitor whose character is not well known
should make several visits TO the family of
ms afhanced, 50 az to submit himself TO
KIND OF testing often very severe, which
shall permit his value and the amount Of
his knowledge TO be rated. This stage of
the negotiations sometimes lasts for several
years.
Marriage is usually contract BY incli-
nation, without money considerations en-
terinS into the matter. The family is re-
garded as q moral union, and not as
business association. Hence it is common
TO see wealthy family allied with q Door
one. 1t Is considered that, when a man
marries girl without fortune, but wisely
brought up, she will be easily touched by
the care he will take of her, and be obedi
ent to his authority. Then. it is not RIGHT
to exact dowry from a girl whose eduoa-
ton has already imposed upon her parents
large sacrifices of time and money, and
VINO haS moreover, abandoned her family
name 10 take that of a stranger, SO there is
no doWry. The parents give their daugh-
ter what they please, without the young
man being allowed to claim or stipulate fer
anything. Sometimes they require him to
make considerable presents, which will be
the sole property of the wife. 1t must not
be supposed that the condition of wives is
the same IN AMMAN as in China. The si1
ceremonies of marriage are, it is true,
nearly the same in both countries; but
while the Chinese wife has to keep to her
apartments, the Annamite wife is treated az
the equal OF her husband-Po Popular Science
